Abstract: Appendicitis, which involves inflammation of the appendix, can cause severe pain and requires immediate medical attention. Appendectomy surgery is effective in treating this condition, although it carries a risk of complications such as wound infection or bleeding. Postoperative pain experienced by appendectomy patients varies and can affect their quality of life and recovery. Therefore, pain control is becoming an essential focus in postoperative care, with early mobilization recognized as a strategy that can speed recovery and reduce the risk of complications. This study aims to provide deeper insight into pain changes in postoperative appendectomy clients. This study used a correlational descriptive design with a group Pretest-Posttest approach to examine the effect of early mobilization on pain changes in postoperative appendectomy clients at RSU Royal Prima Medan. Wilcoxon Test results showed a significant reduction in postoperative appendectomy pain levels at Royal Medan Hospital after early mobilization (p-value = 0.000, Z = -2.002). Of the 17 patients observed, the average pain level dropped from 3.84 to 2.45. These results confirm the effectiveness of early mobilization in statistically reducing pain. The majority of postoperative appendectomy clients experience increased pain before early mobilization, while after early mobilization, the majority experience a slight increase in pain. There is an effect of early mobilization on pain changes in postoperative appendectomy clients at Royal Prima Hospital in 2024.
